Pontiac Firebird 400 on 2040-cars
Stirling, New Jersey, United States
Sweet 1968 Firebird 400 - Excellent Silver paint I've owned this baby for 25 years. Other than the wrong side view mirrors and some dress up chrome, this vehicle is all stock! Car is extremely close to stock, including 400/engine with quadrabog carb, drum breaks all the way around; cast iron manifolds; points and condenser, etc. I do have the original rally wheels, valve covers and air cleaner to bring it closer to stock. This is a solid must see car, priced to sell. I'm looking for a new Firebird project, so I know whats out there and this cars is a gem. Only serious offers please. Local viewing encouraged. Some Additional Details I've been in the car business since I was 14, that's over 40 years around cars. My family has owned a Pontiac Cadillac dealership here in NJ since 1955, so I know many people in every aspect of the auto industry. Some stuff was done at the dealership, some was sent to friends and vendors I've known for all these years. I have receipts for most parts purchased -- Ames, Year One, parts stores, etc. The restoration was started around 1990. The engine was pulled early in the process and resealed, and heads sent to my local speed shop. The trans was done in house by our master tech who has now passed on. The engine code is YS which is period correct. The body is solid; I replaced some small patches around the wheel openings, but nothing major. The paint was done around 1999 in a 2000 Pontiac color code #13 Bright Silver metallic, which is a base coat / clear coat application -- very, very nice job. The rear is original to my knowledge with low highway gears. The speedo says 160 and I bet it will do it. I replaced the driver seat cover, headliner and package shelf. This is the first time it's been on e-bay and the e-mails are many. I never thought I would sell it, but I have only put approx 5000 miles on it in all this time, and now I'm parting ways with my baby.

Airbag recall adds 85k Pontiac Vibes to tally
Fri, 13 Jun 2014The repairs needed for the faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata continue to expand. Toyota initially announced a recall of 766,300 vehicles equipped with the bad part on June 11 as a followup to a campaign from 2013. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a preliminary evaluation into five automakers who also used the component in their models. Now, NHTSA has released the official announcement of the latest Toyota recall listing 844,277 affected cars, including the newly added 2003-2004 Pontiac Vibe.
While NHTSA's document didn't include a model-by-model breakdown, General Motors spokesperson Alan Adler estimated to Autoblog that roughly 85,000 Vibes in the US would be covered under the latest recall. Like the rest of the affected models, the airbag inflator could rupture in a crash causing the bag not to work correctly, possibly spraying metal fragments at the occupant.
Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight told Autoblog that the reason for the disparity between the earlier press release and NHTSA document was that Toyota was continuing to comb through VINs to create a list of affected vehicles. The original number was an estimate of that process at the time. Scroll down to the recall report from NHTSA.
GM recalling another 2.7 million vehicles in five separate campaigns
Thu, 15 May 2014The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles.
The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles - some of them the same models - but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago.
The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents.
STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM
Fri, 16 Oct 2009Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.
